I'm curious: are you also against private grocery stores? Because ya know, eating is also a human necessity.
In other words, you do sound like you'd like someone like Mao in charge.
I am, yes.
I have zero interest in spending this beautiful Friday morning arguing, so I'm not going to, but if you would like some reading recommendations to understand my political positions on these sorts of things, let me know and I'd be happy to provide them.
I already know your political positions: you posted a portrait of Mao.
Look, capitalism is broken. It's a terrible, terrible system - especially the ultra-capitalist society with ultra-billionnaires we have today. My personal opinion is that said ultra-billionnaires should face the pitchfork sooner rather than later.
But I also know enough history to know that communism is even worse. I don't know what the solution to capitalism is, but it's not Mao or Stalin. They can fuck right off.
So you aren't at all interested in understanding my positions, got it. Have a good day.
Indeed I am not. Like you yourself said, I'm not interested in spending this beautiful Friday arguing 🙂
